Apart from the cambelt [which you're aware of] have a thorough check on the suspension bushes & steering balljoints.
It's around this sort of mileage that things need replacing.
Could be a bill up to £1k

Due to your location......I would check it has all 4 wheels (& spare)
Essential IMHO to have a full warantee preferably Warantee Direct or LR.
NJSSAm I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.
2016 Discovery 4 Landmark
2011 Mercedes Benz SL350 (R230)
1973 MG B GT V8 - 3.9L John Eales engine, 5 speed R380 gearbox, since 1975.
1959 MGA roadster - 1.9L Peter Burgess Engine - 5 speed gearbox
Past LRs - Multiple FFRs, Discos & a Series I - some petrol, some diesel,
none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.
